Chinless Inbred-Tory gets hunted by a load of foxes
i hope that someday you will have a pack of hounds chewing at your nuts
hope the toffs have a painfull/fatal accidents
the hunters should be chased and attacked and ripped apart by the dogs, that would be fun for me to watch.
a load of psychos in red coats

And that was just in the first couple of pages, not counting on this page
rich tory *******s
red coated pricks on horse back

Obviously the above are mostly over the top stereotypes of fox hunters, and as you say 70% of Tory voters are against fox hunting and are satisfied with the status quo.

The above are not helped by the type of people generally sympathetic to hunting, Otis Ferry for example, in any bodies book a fine example of a chinless wonder;) who comes across as completely obsessed by hunting with hounds.
As for the current batch of Tory MP's the vast majority want to repeal the ban, and for the first time in decades their is now a minister responsible for "hunting and shooting"...if this isn't a sop to the countryside alliance then I don't know what is.
So with most voters, up to 75%, against repealing the current legislation against fox hunting, irrespective of which party they voted for, many of the above comments having a dig at chinless tories are well justified seeing as Tory MP's are quite content to go against what the majority of their constituents and the country think.
So much for the new tory party...what was it Ken Clarke said the other day? "if we ignore what middle England wants we are finished"

I know you have no great love of fox hunting foreverwar, but now your in that insidious position of defending your party against the indefensible...I remember it well:) Iraq war, foundation hospitals, tuition fees and many more.
I imagined it would be a good few months down the line before you'd have to do it though.:)

Sorry missed a word of my orriginal post




So would you be happy to have 50 hounds jumping in your garden crapping everywhere, wrecking in the garden in the progress and killing your pet dog in the process, then having those red coated pricks on horse back being rude about it, sitting all high and mighty on there horses.

This happened to my nan who lived in the country.

These pursuits are also just as objectionable, what is your point?

So if they agree to that, then they should be free to hunt and kill animals for sport?

Where are the examples of non-classist rational objections against fox-hunting that you said you were posting. You seem to have missed your point. :rolleyes:

Ooops. The Flyboy irony/sarcasm flags might have to get another airing.

Okay, pray tell, what was the point of the post? Was it to show that there was less rational objections? If it was, why point it out, seeing as my post already made that assumption. Was it to show me that my remarks were not in context? Unlikely, because they were clearly so. Was it to show that some people do not like Tories or upper class twits? Well, I think we knew that already, didn't we? So, like I said, he seemed to have missed his own point.

Just because it has gone of for a long time does not make it right. There is no sport in the torture of another living being, other than the crazed perverted bloodlust of another. The loudest cry of classist behaviour comes not from the objectors of this activity, but from the participants and its supporters (as you have ably proven here). They are the ones whose excuses have been reduced to class, not those who rationally object to its existence.

These pursuits are also just as objectionable, what is your point?

Someone in this thread asked if any of the anti hunt people have been to a hunt, Unfortunately yes i have. I have watched member of the Cheshire hunt bay and scream at the kill. I have seen them spread the blood on the kill on youngsters faces as an initiation ceremony.
